The entire house totals 2,690 square feet with 1,728 finished square feet on the upper floors and 968 square feet in the basement.

IMPROVEMENTS
The charming four bedroom and two bath home, barn, four-car garage and other improvements are in impeccable condition. There’s a spring fed-fish pond set amongst huge cottonwood trees, corrals and an outdoor arena. The historic house and barn have been lovingly restored and cared for; the lawn and gardens around the house – “manicured”. There are numerous majestic old cottonwood and other leafy shade trees around the property, including those in the orchard.
The ranch rises from native grass pastures to mature ponderosa and pinion pine covered ridges with views of Pikes Peak, the mountains west of Denver, and other front-range communities. The property is ideally suited for a pure-bred cattle or horse operation, or for development into smaller parcels. There is broad variety of terrain and countless beautiful building sites, all with expansive views, in one or more directions.
Varied terrain, vegetation, springs and ponds all help to create a home for trophy mule deer, antelope, turkey and an occasional elk.
WATER
Water on the Spring Hill Ranch is abundant. The name Spring Hill stems from the four springs located on the ranch. Two of the springs are located adjacent to the improvements and in years past supplied water for domestic and livestock use. The primary spring, for domestic use, now flows through a cistern into a stocked trout pond. A second developed spring provides water to the orchard, gardens and livestock. The remaining two springs are undeveloped, flowing into dirt tanks for livestock and wildlife. The well is 460 feet deep with a static water level of 254 feet. Pumping at 10 g.p.m. the well supplies water for the house, two livestock tanks and an R.V. pad. The ranch also has an adjudication for 760 acre feet of subsurface water.
